Manual client setup¶

Direct configuration for clients that aren't using the qt-development-skills plugin. The endpoint in every case is:

https://qt-docs-mcp.qt.io/mcp

Claude Code¶

Register the server globally once:

claude mcp add --transport http qt-docs https://qt-docs-mcp.qt.io/mcp

The server is then available in any Claude Code session.

Claude Desktop¶

Claude Desktop only supports stdio transports and cannot connect to HTTP MCP servers directly. Use mcp-remote as a bridge (requires Node.js).

Open claude_desktop_config.json:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "qt-docs": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mcp-remote", "https://qt-docs-mcp.qt.io/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop after editing. On first use you may be prompted to install mcp-remote — confirm to proceed.

OpenAI Codex¶

Via the UI: Settings → MCP server → Add Server → select Streamable HTTP → paste the URL. Give it a name and save.

Google Antigravity¶

In Agent Settings, add a server entry pointing at the URL:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "qt-docs": {
      "serverUrl": "https://qt-docs-mcp.qt.io/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Content-Type": "application/json"
      }
    }
  }
}
